Planning a rock climbing birthday party? This dynamic and active birthday party idea is fun enough on its own, allowing kids to climb on the walls, learn new skills, and play unique party games. But you can still add a fun theme to your rock climbing birthday party to make it a one-of-a-kind experience for your kid.
Here are some popular themes to give you a little inspiration!
Spider-Man
If you have a kid who loves superheroes, a Spider-Man themed rock climbing birthday party is the best of both worlds. Just like Spider-Man, kids will be “sticking” to walls and climbing up the side of “buildings.” Have kids come dressed up as Spider-Man or other movie characters to complete the illusion.
Super Mario Bros.
Mario may be known for his jumping, but planning a Nintendo-themed climbing adventure works perfectly. There are plenty of Mario games where characters gain the ability to climb! Either way, this creates some fun costume opportunities, from Mario and Luigi to Peach and Yoshi. To make this even more fun, have the kids “defeat” Bowser — played by you perhaps — by climbing the wall a certain way or in a certain amount of time. Place question blocks on the wall if possible, having kids hit them to receive prizes.
Ninja Warrior
If your kid is a little athlete, maybe consider a Ninja Warrior party. Have each kid “introduce” themselves like in American Ninja Warrior before taking on the wall. You can even provide commentary for their climb if you’re feeling up to it. Hand out medals to everyone at the end. Reach Climbing & Fitness actually has ninja birthday parties and classes on top of rock climbing birthday party experiences, providing your party with a skilled trainer, pizza, and your own special climbing area.
Space
With the right costumes and decorations, kids can feel like they’re climbing on the surface of the moon! Make the climbing area look like it’s in outer space, maybe even adding some aliens to the mix. Each rock wall could be a different planet to discover — reaching the top means the mission is complete. The crew must work together to explore each planet and survive alien life forms.
Fortnite
In Fortnite, it’s all about getting the high ground. Everyone should come dressed up in their favorite Fortnite costume! Kids will take turns climbing to the top of the wall. From there, they must try to hit the kids running below with something soft. Each hit counts as an elimination. The kid with the most eliminations wins! Between rock climbing sessions, consider a dance party where everyone does classic Fortnite dances.
There are an abundance of themes you can do depending on your kid’s interest that will make a rock climbing birthday party even more special. And when you do the birthday at Reach Climbing, you’ll be provided with staff and games to make it a memorable experience.
